That about sums it up. Other than the pay, the improvements are marginal while the QOL issues got hammered

The pay is an improvement. New hires get $350 instead of $125 for the leather jacket. The insurance premiums are an improvement for the junior guys, but the insurance itself is not very good. I think we get a little more for FAA physicals and uniform allowance.

Home basing is effectively given away. No improvement to the callout pay. No improvement to the 401k match. A day off was given away. What? no rigs??

And the conditional language... Everything needs to be "shall," "must" and "will." "Best effort," "reasonable" and "when practicable" cannot be enforced.

In many ways this is worse than the EPPH. I am confused that the NC unanimously endorses it. If it passes, there are going to be a bunch of ticked off pilots. Better paid, yes, but very ticked off.
